A frequent dispute among those opposing further immigration is that immigrants seize U.S. jobs that are needed by American citizens. Surprisingly, many argue that immigrants are ruining the economy by taking such jobs for lower wages than Americans would. But most immigrants fill low skill jobs that are not wanted by Americans, jobs that are looked down upon. Immigrants do what they can to survive and help their families, and by doing so they help the economy in a many ways. More workers means more output. Julian L. Simon, author of The Economic Consequences of Immigration, states, “Immigration does not exacerbate unemployment ... Immigrants not only take jobs, but also create them. Their purchases increase the demand for labor, leading to new hires roughly equal in number to the immigrant workers.” More people means more consumers spending money on food, rent, and a range of necessities and luxuries that spur production and create jobs elsewhere. Opponents of immigration fail to recognize these secondary effects of immigrant employment. They focus only on the original taking of jobs without accounting for job creation and economic growth. If these factors are taken into account, it becomes clear that immigrants actually inject much-needed support and vigor into the economy. If the United States is having economy trouble than they should look elsewhere before they blame immigrants.
Currently, the government is spending $8 billion per month on the continuing occupation of Iraq (www.speaker.gov). Immigrants, legal or not, do not harm the economy in any way, they improve it. There are many immigrants who successfully graduate college and pursue a career. There are many immigrants who agree to work really hard for such a little money to feed their family. And most importantly, there are many immigrants who would work day and night to save money for their kids to go to college, so they can achieve what their parents could not. The economy is corrupted by many things and immigration is not one of them. According to office of national drug control budget records, The U.S. federal government spent over $19 billion dollars on the war on drugs while the state spends another $30 million.(www.whitehousedrugpolicy.gov) Fixing the economy does not have to mean killing more people at the Mexican border, we just simply need to have more rational actions. Immigrants take the low skill jobs that pay low wages. They pay taxes, rent houses, buy car insurance and groceries just like everyone else. How can they possibly hurt the economy? Some might argue that immigrant workers might raise American taxes using welfare and other programs to help them financially. But it is the fact that Americans also pay hundreds of dollars to support war, which always puzzles me, who would rather choose to support killing people instead of helping others start a life?

I am sure most of you reading this agree on what corruption is, but the United States believes in “freedom”, you do whatever you want, dress however, and act however you want. The Middle East on the other hand believes that everyone should cover their body; they also believe that no one should do drugs or drink alcohol that’s why in almost every Muslim country alcohol is illegal and of course we all know how “appropriate” Muslims dress. The way Muslims view the rest of the world is as corrupted people, and most of the powerful countries in the world are predominantly Christians, like the United States, Canada and most of Europe, so they conclude that all Christians are corrupted. I am from Egypt so I can only tell you about the experiences I have, doesn’t mean every Muslim country is that way. Well anyway, in Egypt, there is always a battle between Christians and Muslims. Egypt has only 9 percent Christians, and what Muslims want to do is make it a Muslim country. There is always killing going, there is always war between both religions, there is discrimination while trying to get jobs and such, it is almost like the relationship between black and white people here, except the predominate party has much more power. Every religion think they are right and others are wrong but Muslims believe that in the Quran it says that you have to stop corruption and you will get rewarded at the end, so they actually do something about it, they think that if you help stop corruption (which is supposably exists in every other religion but Islam) you will get rewarded.
